Chapter 1
1.) Tao wants to draw but it's a taboo. The second one was that the clan was starving.
2.) Tao uses the wolf dog to hunt in the slough.
3.)One event is that Tao goes into slough. The other is that Tao
Chapter 3
1.)Tao and Ram manage to ward off an eagle-owl to get two of it's eggs, and get two rabbits.
2.)Tao tells Volt if maybe they hunted with wolf dogs then they would have more food.
3.) I would tell Tao that he's no longer part of the clan. Also, that we need food, not dreamers. Last but not least, you are prohibited from drawing forever.
Chapter 8
1.) imagined that my mom illegally crossed the border of U.S.A. l belive that she should follow her dreams,because if she didn't I would be here.
Chapter 9
Graybeard changed his mind because he doesn't believe in taboos. This tells me that Graybeard is one of the two characters who is nice to Tao. He's also taking a big risk.
Chapter 11
Graybeard is a good teacher, beacause he's willing to teach Tao everything he knows about painting in the shortest amount of time. I would like to be taught by him since he's the master. Also, he knows how great painting is to be done.

p166 Quote: Arya had never given reason to suspect that elves liked to-or even could- laugh.
Opinion: Why doesn't Arya laugh at all? She made Eragon think that elves coun't or didn't like to laugh.

p170 Qoute: In the morning, they drink with you; in the evening, they stab you."
Opinion: Are the elves backstabbers, no offense, but are they?

Han Dynasty
You probably heard about acupuncture, but do you know what it was used for? Have you also heard about moxibustion? Do you know what the

Chinese invented? You will find that out and more.

Acupuncture and moxibustion were used for medicine in China during the Han Dynasty. They were used to restore the forces of yin and yang. the

Hans were the first to make an anasthetic( actually it was a type of wine). In acupuncture, you needed thin needles. They were placed on certain parts of

the body. Then, they inserted it(which might really hurt a lot if you are not used to it). This form of medicine was used for fast striking illnesses.
For moxibustion,you needed sticks and leaves. They placed it on a part of your body and set the sticks or leaves on fire(I'd hate to be part of this ritiual
wouldn't you?). They thought the heat relieved your body of pain and you would heal faster.
Did you know that the Chinese invented a lot of stuff we use today? They invented the compass. Only it pointed south, not north. They also

invented the bronze seismogrph. They also invented gun powder, but not for warfare, just for fireworks. They also made the kite for war. They made longer,

swords, fish-scale armor, which made battling safer. They also made the crossbow.(I couldn't finish the rest it got deleted by accident)
